Hmm, in the case of the two games that pique my interest (Dragon Age: Origins and Game of Thrones RPG), this Origin sale looks like a case of trying to lock you in to the Origin version in the hopes that you'll want to buy the DLC at some point. If all of the DLC is really, really not worth it in either of these cases, please let me know.

DA:O I found all the quest DLC except the one set in the deep roads to be worth it. And the deep roads one was still pretty decent, it was just... well... the deep roads. The item DLC not so much, but all of that is free these days anyway.

SSZ is getting two kidney punchings at the moment--one for being an average-ish game, and another for release and pre-release discounts, which translates to a majority of its backers paying more for the game than the slimy general public (that's you, I think).

I paid $15, so I have no bitter feelings, but I suspect this won't be the last time Kickstarter pricing and release-sale pricing merge badly, which I tend to think is pretty damaging for the future of games funding on Kickstarter. Paying less--or at least not more--now for something you receive much later is pretty widely understood to be fair, which is why it's so prevalent in indie funding.

Anyway, I just installed, so I'll be back with some impressions.

Also, The Secret World for $10 on Origin. I don't want it now, but good, good. Soon.

I grabbed SSZ discounted earlier in the week after watching a few of the previews on it. It looks a bit "meh", but it still looked fun. I am downloading now, I'll give an opinion after I get a chance to try it (apparently the demo for the new Metal Gear also came out, so I am right now killing time while my PS3 grabs and installs it).

As best I can tell this is the cheapest place to get Darksiders 2 on the internet atm; and probably worth it for anyone interested in those games as theres a good chance some of them could be disappearing soon (Titans Quest, Darksiders, and Red Faction haven't been bought aparently). That said, does anyone know when this deal is expected to end?

Ed: Theres potentially two copys of SupCom, as a comment suggests you get SupCom 1 when you register SupCom: FA on Steam.

This really is a cracking deal, i'm very tempted to snap it up with it's still available.

I would agree with this. DA:O has some pretty good DLC packs that are worth the price of admission. They don't hold a candle to Fallout New Vegas: Dead Money, but I don't think anything comes close to being that awesome.

the dlc for got is entirely forgettable, and the da:o stuff is fine. it's not great but it's somewhat enjoyable.

of note, though, gamersgate and amazon usually have really good sales on da:o complete. i got da:o complete + da2 complete (the non-origin versions) for $10 recently via gg.
